In Lhasa, faith is woven into everyday life.

From the ancient halls of Jokhang Temple to monasteries across the city, the sound of chanting, spinning prayer wheels and drifting incense has echoed through generations. But beyond the temples, belief travels with the people. Locals ride bicycles with prayer wheels in their baskets, walk kora paths beneath fluttering prayer flags, and move through the old city to the soft rhythm of spinning wheels.

In Lhasa, faith isn't confined to temple walls – it lives in the streets, in daily rituals, and in every step forward. (Photo credit: CGTN's Yang Ziyi)
